First bends done out of the head.

Outer pipes have been left extra curvy until the middle two are connected to the collector and i know what angle they need to be .

On to the downpipes tonight.
Bends out of the head are matched to the ports at 35mm and the bottom bends to the collector are 38mm so time to knock up some tapered headers

A simple notch to the required length was closed up with some hose clips then tacked in place before removing the clips and welded in full

Middle pipes slotted on and lower bends offered up

A bit of adjustment and they are ready for welding.
Some alloy angle held on with hose clips keeps every thing tight and in line and leaves enough of a gap so i can get a couple of tack welds on.

That looks so good Zed....did you make the collector? Those tapered welds look really good to my untrained eye. Is the whole system going to be welded up or will some parts be removable for easier oil changes?

Hi. Yes! i constructed the collector from 11 seperate modded sections from the donor systems.
The four header pipes slip on to the head spigots and will be on held by springs to those and the collector.
The link pipe and silencer will also be slip-on and sprung.
The whole thing should only take a minute or two to remove.

Got the mid pipes welded this morning and then tackled the outers

These are a bit trickier as they have to snake round the mid pipes and still end up the same length as the others at the collecter.

After lots of adjustment it misses everything so gets a visit from mister welding torch after which i have to make a mirror image for the other side

Time flies when you're having fun and todays 10 hours in the shed gets me this :)

Managed to get all the pipes the same length give or take a millimeter.





Just need to make some spring tags to pull it all together and then on the the link pipe and silencer.

i have seen the side plates of motorcycle chain used as spring anchors before on custom headers,it looks very neat and finished.

A good idea but mine had to be stainless to match the exhaust so had to spend all day making some.
